Today: everything on the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal. Including: Romain Grosjean - from crash kid to experienced pro. 00:21 Plus: the man with the most kilometres out front in Formula 1 00:25 But first: likeable Canadians and untamed nature! >>00:32 People and Places: Canada 00:03 Canada – 10 million square kilometres of untouched nature. 00:15 Inhabited by 3 million caribou, two million elks ... and a handful of people. 00:23 However, half of them are college graduates. 00:29 Admittedly, the entire country's population is two million less than Greater Tokyo's. 00:36 Nevertheless: Canada is thus the world's most educated nation. 00:40 Not so civilized: the national sport. Where you can get a right clattering. Including in the face ... or what's left of it! 00:55 Canada is a damp country with more lakes than in every other country of the world put together. That's perhaps what makes you thirsty? 01:05 Original sound: Nico Rosberg, Mercedes AMG Petronas, German RTV GmbH Tel.: +49 70 31 64 90-50 USt.-ID-Nr. / VAT-ID: DE164706327 Otto-Lilienthal-Str. 24 Fax : +49 70 31 64 90-66 Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 243623 71034 Böblingen · Germany eMail: [email protected] GF / Managing Partner: Oliver Bauss, Oliver Koblenzer Seite 3 von 34 "Great restaurants, in the evening bars and so on. So, for the days that we’re here beforehand. It’s great fun.” >>01:10 01:11 Cool beer is very popular - at 80% of total consumption it dominates the drinks hit-list. 01:21 After Paris, Montreal is the world's second-largest French-speaking conurbation. 4 million proud Quebecois. Their greatest hero: Jacques Villeneuve - to this day the only Canadian F1 world champion ever. 01:41 Original sound: Fans, English “I love Formula One!” >>01:43 01:43 Original sound: Kids, English "Formula One!“ >>01:45 Ends: 01:45 00:00 Definitely a topic in Montreal again this year: the safety car! >>00:07 Safety car 00:03 (Read slowly) Sexy, strong and ... safe? This gem: without a doubt – The Formula one safety car: The Mercedes Benz AMG GT S. Traditionally much in demand in Canada – deployment probability: over 50%. 00:26 Original sound: Christian Danner, Formula 1 expert, German "Canada is a very hazardous circuit, very narrow, with often hardly any run-off zone, or perhaps just a couple of centimetres. And Canada also has a very odd track surface, due to the fact that the winters there can be very, very cold. Therefore the race always unfolds in a very unique way and there are also lots of crashes and thus a lot of the safety car." >>00:52 00:53 RTV GmbH Tel.: +49 70 31 64 90-50 USt.-ID-Nr. / VAT-ID: DE164706327 Otto-Lilienthal-Str. 24 Fax : +49 70 31 64 90-66 Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 243623 71034 Böblingen · Germany eMail: [email protected] GF / Managing Partner: Oliver Bauss, Oliver Koblenzer Seite 4 von 34 For 16 years, behind the wheel at every race without exception: Mr. Safety - Bernd Mayländer. 01:03 Original sound: Bernd Mayländer, Formula 1 safety car driver, English „I’m the official Safety Car driver in Formula One since 2000. So it’s a quite long time.” >>01:07 01:09 Original sound: Christian Danner, Formula 1 expert, German "Bernd Mayländer is German through and through, and that's also how he lives his life. He's reliable, careful and always punctual. He's on duty an awful lot and also has to practice an incredible amount, too. Because one thing is clear: when he has to go out on the track, everything's got to go right, and that requires meticulous preparation." >>01:34 01:35 Whenever race control say "Go!", HE dictates the pace. 01:40 Original sound: Bernd Mayländer, Formula 1 safety car driver, German "I'm in permanent communication with them. I have a 'Safety car stand-by' mode, where I engage first gear and then just wait until I hear 'Safety car deploy', and from that point I drive out onto the track. If the leading car is behind me, I wait until it's at my back. It's a very normal procedure, which has now been the same for 16 years and is therefore extremely well honed." >>02:00 02:03 Original sound: Bernd Mayländer, Formula 1 safety car driver, German (from OFF) "Up at the front, I naturally try to go as fast as possible, which for Formula 1 is very, very, very slow." >>02:10 02:11 Even with a beefed up super sports car! 02:15 Original sound: Bernd Mayländer, Formula 1 safety car driver, English “It’s a quite powerful car with a V8 Engine, four liters, front-middle-engine, twin turbo, it all offers what a real sports car needs.“ >>02:24 02:25 510 PS. From zero to a hundred in 3.8 seconds. Top speed: 310 kilometres per hour. RTV GmbH Tel.: +49 70 31 64 90-50 USt.-ID-Nr. / VAT-ID: DE164706327 Otto-Lilienthal-Str. 24 Fax : +49 70 31 64 90-66 Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 243623 71034 Böblingen · Germany eMail: [email protected] GF / Managing Partner: Oliver Bauss, Oliver Koblenzer Seite 5 von 34 02:32 Last year, Bernd Mayländer had to deploy 14 times. Often ruining a driver's lead. 02:38 Original sound: Christian Danner, Formula 1 expert, German "Every safety car phase is naturally a concern for the teams' strategy planners." >>02:46 02:47 (read very quickly) The leader gets pegged back and the field closes up. It can even decide the race. Nevertheless, safety’s the primary concern. 02:54 Original sound: Bernd Mayländer, Formula 1 safety car driver, German "Safety first, absolutely. The key thing is coordination, getting the right instructions and keeping a clear picture of things in the rear view mirror, that, I'd say, is the greater, tougher challenge." >>03:06 03:07 In Canada especially tough: in 2011 heavy rain and crashes in Montreal produced a safety car record. Legendarily slow; race time of over four hours; average speed: barely 75 kilometres per hour. The safety car led the race for 30 laps. 03:26 Original sound: Bernd Mayländer, Formula 1 safety car driver, German "An extraordinary race, I have to say, with exceptional safety car phases. I'll never forget it, as it's the longest race in Formula 1 history. And to be totally honest, I'd never before been at an F1 race where we had coffee and cake in race control, because it was suspended for so long. I led the race for precisely 46.9% of the way and Jenson Button, I think, for under 3 percent." >>03:47 03:48 (Read quickly) Always special, the Canadian Grand Prix – in 2014 in Montreal every team crossed the line behind the then SLS AMG safety car. Bernd Mayländer: always ready for any emergency, at this and every race”. 04:02 Original sound: Bernd Mayländer, Formula 1 safety car driver, English „You will see me with this car on all the race tracks this year.“ >>04:33 RTV GmbH Tel.: +49 70 31 64 90-50 USt.-ID-Nr. / VAT-ID: DE164706327 Otto-Lilienthal-Str. 24 Fax : +49 70 31 64 90-66 Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 243623 71034 Böblingen · Germany eMail: [email protected] GF / Managing Partner: Oliver Bauss, Oliver Koblenzer Seite 6 von 34 Ends: 04:08 min 00:00 And now: the man delivering points for the American newcomer. >>00:03 Romain Grosjean 00:02 Formula 1's big surprise in 2016: Team Haas F1 and their front man: Romain Grosjean. 00:11 The newcomers from the USA are no dreamers, but rather a team with a well thought-out plan and ambitions: 00:18 Original sound: Romain Grosjean, Haas F1 Team, English „What we like is to try to drink the Champagne on the podium. So I think I like the idea of the partnership with Ferrari. I like the way everything has been going. I like the fact that it is going slowly but nicely. As I said in the media recently 'I am very very happy, that I made the decision.“ >>00:40 00:41 And it was a very good one, as in the Formula 1 pack there's an anxiety about Haas now. Established teams like Sauber can't keep up. 00:51 Sixth and fifth in the first two races have been an impressive start from the Frenchman with his VF-16 and start number 8. It is the approach and overall concept that differentiates the newcomers from disastrous entrants such as Virgin, Caterham and co. 01:09 No new Formula 1 team has managed such an outstanding start since Shadow in 1973. 01:16 The project's founder got his choice of drivers right. 01:20 Original sound: Gene Haas, Founder and Chairman Haas F1 Team, English „We were looking for an experienced driver and Romain, he scored points almost every season and that is really what our primary goal here is to be able to score points.

  • Mario Andretti to Be Inducted Into Canadian
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MARIO ANDRETTI TO BE INDUCTED INTO CANADIAN MOTORSPORT HALL OF FAME Toronto – June 18, 2013 – Mario Andretti is to be inducted into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame at Toronto’s Glenn Gould Studio, as the International Category honoree of 2012. Andretti raced in Canada almost as long as in the United States, while winning worldwide in a sparkling 41-year career. He’ll be honored during the 19th annual Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies presented by Canadian Tire, September 28th along with Canadian inductees the late Bob Armstrong, Jimmy Carr, John and Sharon Fletcher, Ron Fellows and Tom Walters with fans watching the ceremony and partying with the honorees afterward. Nobody drove a Formula One car faster than Andretti at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, where he won the pole and recorded the fastest lap in 1977, the final year the Canadian Grand Prix was held at Mosport before moving to Montreal. The classic circuit’s back straight was named the Andretti straight after he was clocked there at 178 miles per hour in a 1967 USAC Indy car race. On a global scale, Andretti was the first driver to win both the F-1 (1978) and Indy Car championships (1965-66-69 and 84). His versatility remains unparalleled. He won the Daytona 500 stock car race in 1967, and both the Indianapolis 500 and Pike’s Peak hill climb in 1969. On dirt tracks he was the USAC champion in 1974. In endurance racing, he co-drove to victory three times at Sebring, and following his retirement from Indy car shared a class win at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans.

  • Jacques Villeneuve
    BIOGRAPHY Jacques Villeneuve Formula One World Champion, Indy 500 Winner & IndyCar Series Champion Canadian Jacques Villeneuve won the 1997 Formula One World Championship for the Williams-Renault team, a remarkable feat given that he achieved it in only his second full season of Formula One motor racing, and against arch rival Michael Schumacher. In his first season in Formula One, 1996, he finished 2nd in the World Championship, an astonishing achievement in only first season at the pinnacle of world motor sport. Winning the ultimate prize in Formula One came after winning the Indy Car series in the United States in 1995, during which he also won the world-famous Indianapolis 500. He is one of only three drivers ever to achieve this ‘triple’, alongside former World Champions Mario Andretti and Emerson Fittipaldi. His Formula One career continued until 2006, including 6 years driving for BAR-Honda which was a team he co-founded and was part-owner. Since when he has competed in a wide range of motor sports series, and remains fully active in Formula One as a commentator for both Italian and French television. He is further renowned as the son of Gilles Villeneuve, often regarded as one of the most exciting drivers ever to drive for Ferrari’s Formula One team, and whose career was ended by a tragic accident during the 1982 Belgian Grand Prix. Jacques’ achievements were all the more remarkable given this tragedy, and his career further enhanced the fame of the Villeneuve name across Formula One.
